Heating System Maintenance

In This Section:

It’s important that your home heating system work properly when you need it. In fact, if you’re like most area residents, you probably just take for granted that it will. While you can certainly depend on a newer system for the first few years of its life, the older your system gets, the more likely you are to encounter problems. That’s when it’s time to call Bahr’s.

If you really want to know that your home heating system will work when you need it, keeping up with a regular maintenance schedule is the best option. Even a brand new system will benefit from an annual maintenance check–up. This doesn’t have to take a lot of time or cost you much money. But it will give you peace of mind that your system will keep working well for years to come.

Regular Heating Maintenance Ensures Safety

One of the main issues that regular heating system maintenance can help to address is safety. Of course, your home heating system is a very safe piece of equipment to begin with. If something goes wrong, however, many heating systems can cause a buildup of carbon monoxide.

This is a dangerous situation for you and your family and you should do everything you can to protect yourself from this eventuality. Making sure all carbon monoxide detectors in your home are functioning properly is a good step. And you can also decrease the likelihood of this becoming a problem by having your heating system properly inspected every year. The expert HVAC technicians at Bahr’s can educate you about carbon monoxide buildup and offer preventative maintenance services to keep these types of issues from occurring in the first place.

Of course, a malfunctioning heating system can also be a serious fire risk. Without having regular heater maintenance performed on your home heating system, just think about what it would cost you if your home caught fire. In this context, regular maintenance is well worth the minimal annual cost.

Heating Maintenance Promotes System Efficiency

Plus, paying a bit for a regular maintenance service will actually save you quite a bit of money in the long run. That’s because a properly maintained heating system is an efficient one. And when your system is running at peak efficiency, you’ll find that your heating bills are quite low.

On the other hand, a heating system that hasn’t received that extra attention will gradually decline in performance each year. This dip in performance may not be immediately evident, but over time, you will find that your heating bills are steadily climbing.

Improved Heating System Reliability

An inefficient system also impacts the overall life–span of your equipment. When a system isn’t running efficiently, it has to work harder and more frequently to keep your home at the right temperature. This causes increased wear and tear on the entire system and can cause parts to wear out more quickly. This will not only lead to an increase in heating costs, but it will also make it necessary for you to pay for repairs more frequently as your system ages.

You want to know that your heat will work when you need it, and in order to ensure that it does, keeping up with a regular heating maintenance schedule really is your best option. This type of care will extend the life of your system and keep it running efficiently for much longer than it would otherwise.
